Adryn made her way to the kitchen while thinking about the activities she and Reiji had just done. She tried hard to not blush as she thought about those things, but she couldn't help it. Thankfully though, she was able to get her face under control by the time she actually made it to the kitchen. Once she walked in, she was happy she was no longer blushing, because there sat Eclipse and Taemin.

"Oh, hey there Adryn. How did everything go with Reiji and with how 'busy' you were?" Eclipse smirked at her friend, but Adryn frowned.

"No sex happened, alright? Let's not get into it." Adryn shut down the conversation immediately. Eclipse understood and nodded her head, letting the topic go. So, Adryn went and got some cereal just as Reiji walked into the kitchen.

"Good afternoon, Taemin, Eclipse." Reiji greeted the two before heading to Adryn and giving her a kiss on her forehead. Adryn smiled and watched as Reiji went to get his own food.

"It's lunchtime now you two, get something good to eat," Eclipse spoke up when she saw that they weren't really getting lunch foods.

"Cereal is good enough for me," Adryn commented as she began to eat. Reiji decided to make himself a sandwich then. Once it was made he sat down next to Adryn. Adryn had started eating first, so she got done first as well. This prompted Eclipse to begin talking with Adryn.

"What are your plans for the day?" Eclipse asked Adryn as she turned to look at her friend.

"Hmm... I want to work on one of my songs, but also I don't want to."

"What do you mean?"

"It's not important." Adryn shook her head, not really wanting to talk about it.

"I'd like to practice our song that we're going to perform," Reiji said as he entered the conversation. Adryn thought about it for a moment before nodding her head in agreement.

"Alright." Adryn waited for Reiji to finish up eating, and once he did the two headed to her music room. This left Taemin and Eclipse in the room. Eclipse had been silent for a bit now, which worried Taemin.

"Are you alright?" Taemin asked Eclipse, causing her to snap back into reality. She'd zoned out apparently.

"I'm fine, just thinking about how much Adryn has grown," Eclipse responded simply as she turned to look at her lover.

"Adryn just needed some time and the right person to come along."

"I agree." With that, Eclipse stood up and gave Taemin a kiss before heading out. Eclipse went in search of Ai so they could deal with their songs.

Meanwhile, Reiji and Adryn were practicing their son. They were given a video to follow along with for their dancing part of the performance. At first, Adryn had trouble following along, but then Reiji helped her better understand it and move better to it. They were taking this quite seriously until they'd accidentally bump into each other. If they did that, they'd pause and laugh a bit before getting back to work. They were just overall having a good time together though. Eventually though, they figured out the dance and decided to take a break. They decided to sit on the piano bench together.

"We're getting pretty good," Reiji commented as they rested on the bench.

"Yeah... But the fact that we only have a week until we have to perform is getting me a little nervous." Adryn admitted to Reiji.

"Don't worry. You'll do just fine and everything afterward will go great." Adryn nodded her head to Reiji's words, but she couldn't shake the bad feeling that she had within her. She chose to not tell Reiji though, she didn't want to bring him down or worry him. As Adryn was deep in thought, Reiji leaned against her, surprising her. "I love you."

"I love you too... But I wonder if we're going too fast."

"Do you regret what we did this morning?"

"No. I don't regret it or anything we've done together."

"Then what do you mean?"

"We've only been a couple for a little over a month or so but we've already gotten pretty serious." Adryn then looked to Reiji, who was still leaning against her. "We're going as fast as Eclipse and Taemin went. I don't want our relationship to be run out before it ever gets a chance to become a long and fulfilling relationship."

"It won't be like that. We'll be together for so long that you'll get sick of me." Reiji smiled at Adryn, causing her to smile as well.

"I'll never get tired of you, maybe annoyed with you, but never tired of you." Adryn then looked to the window across the room. "If a relationship is full of rainbows and happiness all the time, with no fighting or arguments then it isn't a good relationship. You need to disagree sometimes no matter if you're meant to be or not. No one can get along forever all of the time."

"Fighting in a relationship is normal, but too much could kill it."

"Yeah."

"I wonder..." Reiji muttered as he sat back up.

"Hmm?"

"What type of relationship did your parents have?" Reiji's question threw Adryn off causing her to just look at him for a moment.

"Um... Why do you want to know that?" Reiji shrugged before responding.

"I just wonder if you grew up under different circumstances than me."

"Well... My parents were together until they died. My mother was 16 and my dad was 23 when they got together. They ended up passing away just months from each other. They literately spent their entire lives together."

"Oh wow, that's amazing. Not the dying part, but how they spent their lives together. Do you have any siblings or any other family?"

"I had a brother, but I lost contact with him when I moved to Korea. I just didn't want to be connected with anyone from America, other than Eclipse and Nova of course. My brother was 12 years older than me anyway, so we were never all that close, to begin with." Reiji just nodded his head to Adryn's words. When he didn't offer up any of his own life, Adryn decided to ask about it. "What about your family life?"

"I don't have a father, but I do have a mother and sister who I'm fairly close to. I help out in the bento shop every now and then that my family runs." Reiji watched as Adryn nodded her head, clearly not wanting to say anything wrong about what he'd said. "I never needed a father, my mother supported me through a lot."

"I wonder if my parents would have supported me. I'm not really sure about it. They were always pressuring me to get a job and stuff. I know that they loved me, and were just worried about me though so it was alright for the most part." Adryn then looked to Reiji. "I'm honestly glad that they are gone. It would have been difficult to leave them behind if they were alive."

"Did you leave everything behind?"

"No, I brought my cats who later died of natural causes in Korea."

"You do seem like a cat person."

"I honestly planned to become a crazy old lady with 90 cats. I didn't see my life going anywhere for a little while there."

"Why not?"

"I was an incredibly shy child and as I grew older, I got worse and worse. It was to the point where I couldn't even interact with other people. I couldn't get a job or a lover. Neither of those were even possibilities at one point. However, once I got into my bed I got a bit better, but still, I had a hard time performing in front of others without some type of help."

"What do you mean?"

"I was on heavy anti-anxiety pills and it would effectively numb me to everything." Hearing this from Adryn shocked Reiji a little bit.

"Do you still take those pills?"

"No, I have other methods of fighting my intense anxiety."

"How do you handle the bad anxiety then?"

"I'm on a pill for it that I take every day. It is the morning pill while my bipolar pill is the night one." Adryn paused for a moment before continuing. "I just try my best to remain calm and face my fears. I think about what would happen if I couldn't face my fears, all the people I'd let down, and then for the most part I can get over my anxiety. Do you ever get nervous to be in front of all your fans?"

"No." Reiji shook his head as he spoke, causing Adryn to pout.

"You're so great and amazing for not getting nervous." Reiji laughed at Adryn's words.

"I've just been in his business for so long that it's all natural to me now."

"I wonder how long we'll be in the idol business now. After all, you're getting up there in age and I'm not too popular."

"Hey! I'm not even 30 yet! So I'm not 'getting up there in age'!" Reiji was clearly offended, but Adryn just laughed at him.

"You know what I meant!" Adryn responded with a smile on her face. Reiji smiled back at her before talking.

"No matter what, I'll be an idol for as long as I can. So I better take care of myself."

"You really are going to get all flabby as I said before. If you just work at it though, you'll be alright. No matter what your weight or physical appearance, I'll love you."

"I feel the same about you."

"Really?" Adryn laughed as she pulled out her phone. She went through her photo gallery on her phone before landing on a picture. She then showed it to Reiji. He could tell that this girl was about 15 or so, she was a shorter girl but a bigger girl, probably around 200 pounds or so. She wore glasses. "This is me. Ugly, right? I was about 15 I think and after I don't need to be perfect anymore, I'll probably look like this again." Adryn then put her phone away as she wondered something. "I wonder if the fans will notice me wearing a wig at our performance." Adryn was clearly trying to move past her old self.

"First off, you were beautiful back then, but you're also beautiful now too," Reiji stated, causing Adryn to look at him with a soft smile on her face. "Secondly, no one will care about your hair at our performance. They'll be too focused on us. They won't find out about your hair, and even if they did, they'd support you."

"You have no idea how mean girls can get when they are jealous, and trust me, they'll be a lot of jealous girls once our relationship comes out."

"They'll be jealous guys too."

"Probably not. PURGATORY's fan base is most girls. There are a few guys, but none that are really my fans. They are mostly Eclipse and Shiori's fans." Reiji then bumped Adryn's shoulder with his own.

"I'm a fan of yours."

"Thank you, Reiji." Adryn and Reiji shared a kiss before he stood up and stretched.

"We should get back to work." Adryn just sighed and stood up as well. The two then went back to practicing their dancing for a little while longer, until Adryn got a text on her phone from Eclipse, summoning them to the kitchen for dinner, as it was almost dinner time. Reiji and Adryn decided to take showers first though, in their own rooms. After their showers, they got changed with Adryn putting on her shorter wig. They then met up outside their rooms. "You look cute," Reiji commented bringing a smile to Adryn's face.

"Thank you." With that, they headed to the kitchen. Everyone was in the kitchen with Nova, Eclipse, Taemin, and Shiori cooking that night. Adryn and Reiji took their seats where they normally sat.

"How is your relationship reveal performance going?" Eclipse asked as she looked at Reiji and Adryn.

"We've mostly got it down. We just need to start putting the lyrics and the dance together. We just worked on the dance today." Adryn responded simply.

"Can we come and watch you two?" Taemin asked motioned to himself and Eclipse. "You know, to help you face your fears? I know how you can get when it comes to performances sometimes."

"Alright, that's a good idea, since I'm starting to feel the nervousness of the whole situation."

"Why 2would you be nervous? Aren't you happy that your relationship is going to be out in the public?" It was a confused Ai who'd spoken up after Adryn.

"Well, I'm always nervous before performing in front of anyone, but this is a huge deal and I'm freaking out internally a little bit more than usual." To Adryn's response to Ai, Reiji took ahold of one of Adryn's hands.

"It'll be alright. I won't let anything bad happen to you. I'll protect you."

"Thank you. I don't know what I'd do without you."

"It's no problem. I'm happy to be able to be protective of you."

"You're too sweet."

"You're being disgusting again in front of all of us," Camus grumbled instantly before Reiji could respond to his lover.

"It's my mansion, if I want to be all lovey with my lover then I will be." Adryn stuck her tongue out at Camus, who just glared at her in response.

"It's disgusting, as I said."

"Why do you have an icicle shoved up your ass all of the time?" Hearing this from Adryn, Shiori burst out into laughter. Camus glared harder and looked furious.

"Hey now, everyone's friends here, we shouldn't fight." Reiji tried to keep the peace, but it was too late.

"I'm not friends with someone like that." Camus snapped instantly.

"What does that mean?" Adryn asked, getting a bit upset now. Eclipse was also getting upset, but Taemin shook his head at her. Adryn needed to deal with this herself.

"You aren't a good person deep down."

"So, are you a good person deep down then?" Adryn asked simply.

"Some peasant wouldn't understand me."

"I might be a peasant, but at least I'm not a stuck up brat like you are."

"That's enough, both of you. For my sake, can't you two get along? When did this argument even start?" Reiji tried to plead with the two, to no avail. Camus just looked even more annoyed with the situation.

"We should never have been messing with a group so unpopular in the first place. It might affect us. We shouldn't waste our time with a group that will go nowhere." After hearing Camus's words, Adryn, Shiori, Nova, and Eclipse all froze. Anger was clearly building up in each of the girls, but Adryn was far more furious.

"Adryn, he doesn't..." Reiji's words didn't reach the woman who was getting up from her seat.

"I have to go before this situation goes too far," Adryn told Reiji as she left the room. Reiji stood up to go after her, but Nova shoved past him.

"Handle your friend, Reiji. I have Adryn." Nova told Reiji as she ran out of the room after Adryn.

"None of this is a waste of time," Reiji told Camus who just looked bored with the situation now.

"You only feel that way because you got someone out of this." With how Camus worded that, it actually ticked Reiji off.

"When we went into this, we knew that they weren't a popular group. We are the ones who are supposed to help them grow. Not tear down someone who already has issues with such things."

"I'm not going to sugarcoat things for a little girl."

"You know what, I'm going to leave the room before I break your fucking face in," Eclipse growled to Camus as she left the room before doing bodily harm to the man.

"What you said isn't cool. You're being a dick. What for anyway? Are you jealous that your friend has someone and you don't or something?" Shiori snapped from her position at the still cooking food.

"He isn't my friend, and why would I be jealous over some broken girl?" Camus asked simply.

"I think you need to stop before you say something that you can't take back." Reiji stepped in before anything could go any further.

"Are you getting upset? If you are, why aren't you doing anything about it? You should really decide what is more important to you and go with it. Don't walk between both sides."

"You are putting Reiji in a bad place, making him choose between his girlfriend and our group," Ai spoke up, causing Camus to turn to look at him.

"If Reiji chooses his little girlfriend over us, it'll be a huge insult to us. We should be more important than anything else. He said this wouldn't affect our work." Reiji just shook his head at Camus' words.

"I won't choose between Adryn and you all. That's not how the world works. I don't have to pick between anyone. I am free to have friends, work, and Adryn."

"You're naive and delusional."

"You need to calm down. This has gone too far. You need to figure out why you're so upset toward Adryn." With that, Reiji went to leave the room.

"You are the one who needs to figure out the situation before it's too late." Camus' words were spoken as Reiji left the room and hurried down the hall. He eventually started to hear Eclipse and Nova talking to a still furious Adryn.

"If it wasn't my love for Reiji, I would have punched Camus." Adryn practically growled to her friends.

"You should have gotten in so much trouble for that," Nova spoke up simply.

"I said the same thing too," Eclipse mentioned, causing Nova to sigh.

"I can't believe he'd say shit like that about us," Adryn muttered in disbelief. With that, Reiji made his way into the room.

"I'm so sorry for Camus. He said more after you left, so I'm glad you did leave when you did." Reiji said to Adryn as he approached her.

"I'm sorry for being rude to him, but he shouldn't have started it or said what he said about my group."

"I understand your anger. Camus had no right to say anything like that." Reiji then sat next to Adryn on the bench she was seated on. She instantly leaned her head on his shoulder.

"I don't want to come between you and Camus, or anyone else."

"Thank you, Adryn. If anything were to happen between Camus and me, it'd be on me." Adryn just sighed in response.

"Camus is a dick. He needs to get over this jealousy that he has toward you two." Nova stated simply.

"It might not be jealousy, but the feeling of someone encroaching on his territory. He is a dog guy after all." Eclipse responded to her sister. Hearing this made Adryn laugh.

"Everything will be alright eventually. I'll just stay out of Camus' way." Adryn muttered sadly.

"I want you two to get along." Reiji frowned as he spoke.

"I know, but I don't think that's possible." Adryn then got up and sighed. "I'm not really hungry anymore. I'm just going to bed. Reiji, come to bed whenever you're ready."

"Are you two sleeping together now?" Eclipse asked a little confused.

"From yesterday to the time I leave the mansion, I'll be sharing Adryn's bed," Reiji responded for Adryn.

"Is that a good idea? Won't it be harder to part ways when you have to leave?" Nova questioned Adryn and Reiji.

"It'll be hard no matter what. I'd rather spend all the time I can with Reiji before our time is up." Adryn responded this time instead of Reiji.

"Exactly." Reiji agreed as he stood up. He and Adryn shared a kiss and then Adryn headed to bed. She walked into her room, only to realize that she needed new bed stuff. Adryn sighed to herself and got to work. She collected her bedsheets and blanket, along with Reiji's stuff from his room. She needed to wash all the fluids and sickness from their bedding. Thankfully, there was a laundry room on that floor, so that's where Adryn went. She then gathered new bed stuff for her room, not Reiji's since he didn't really need it anyway.

Once her bed was made, Adryn got ready for bed and climbed into her now clean bed. Adryn then began to dwell on everything that'd happened that day. Her mind quickly went to negative thoughts, not the sexy times. Adryn wondered that if Camus thought they were a waste of time, what did the others think? Adryn eventually drifted off to sleep just as upset as she was before.

A while later, Adryn woke up to the sound of her bedroom door closing. She looked up from her pillow to see a figure that she hoped was Reiji.

"Oh, sorry for waking you." Sure enough, it was Reiji. Adryn instantly sat up and grabbed her glasses to see Reiji better. He was already dressed in sleep clothes.

"It's alright. I'm glad to see you, even though you woke me." To Adryn's response, Reiji chuckled.

"it's pretty late, you should get back to sleep."

"I wanna cuddle." Reiji chuckled again and climbed into bed. They instantly got all cuddly with each other. Adryn set her glasses back on the bedside table.

"Can I tell you something?"

"Of course."

"The reason I got so upset earlier was that I never once thought that any of this was a waste of time. I got to finally be with my true love, that could never be a bad thing."

"I'm so sorry again for Camus' words."

"It's alright." Adryn shrugged, dismissing it, but Reiji knew it still bothered her. So, Reiji kissed her forehead.

"Sleep." With that, Adryn and Reiji drifted off to sleep in each other's arms.

A couple of hours later, Adryn woke up and noticed that Reiji was still sleeping. She wanted to just go back to bed, but she couldn't. She was hungry. So, Adryn slithered out of Reiji's arms and put her glasses on. She then made her way down to the kitchen in her short shorts and a tank top. Once she entered the kitchen, she froze. There sat Ranmaru eating a banana.

"Hey," Ranmaru muttered to the surprised girl.

"Hi, Maru," Adryn responded simply as she went to the freezer to grab some food. She then heated it up and sat down in her usual seat.

"You didn't come back for dinner. Why?"

"I lost any want for food then, besides I didn't want to be around Camus, just in case, so I didn't say something that would affect Reiji." Ranmaru just nodded his head in understanding. "I also just wanted to sleep early anyway, but that backfired. I'm not up super early. Why are you up early, Maru?"

"I got up early to go on a run around the property."

"Did you find anything on your run?"

"I didn't... What would I have found anyway?"

"Treasures are all over the property. There are rare trees and flowers, random rocks that are pretty, and even random cats that wander around through the fences somehow."

"Cats?" Adryn chuckled at Ranmaru's interest in the cats.

"They visit on nice days, but I haven't had the chance to feed or play with them in a while, so they probably ran off to another place to get food."

"Ah." Ranmaru then stood up.

"Thank you for not begin rude to me."

"You haven't given me a reason for me to be rude to you, so why would I? I'm not like Camus."

"You're right. You're a lot nicer than Camus is." Adryn laughed as she watched Ranmaru hide his smirk. Ranmaru then left the room and greeted someone as he did so, but Adryn heard no one greet him back. So, Adryn turned around to see Reiji standing there in the doorway. "What are you doing up?" Adryn asked Reiji as she stood up from her seat. She walked to him worried when he didn't respond right away. In response, Reiji just hugged Adryn tightly.

"I woke up from a bad dream, only to see you missing. I got worried." Reiji responded after a moment of just hugging Adryn.

"I'm sorry for not being there to help you. I got hungry." Adryn then pulled away from Reiji and kissed him. Reiji kissed back with a bit more passion than usual, which made Adryn feel like something was wrong. "What was your dream about?" Adryn questioned once they broke their passionate kiss.

"I dreamed that you lost interest in me and left me for Ran-Ran. Then when I came down here to hear you and him taking, it got me even more worried." Much to Reiji's dismay, Adryn literally laughed out loud. He then pouted to her laughter causing her to apologize.

"I'm only laughing because it's ridiculous to think that I'd ever be interested in Maru. I love you with everything that I am, and I most likely won't fall out of love with you. Maru is cute and all, but honestly Camus would be more my type other than when he opens his mouth and those horrid words come out." Reiji chuckled to Adryn's words but then paused when he fully processed everything she'd said.

"What do you mean that Myu would be more your type?" Adryn chuckled at Reiji's concerned question.

"I just have a thing for people with blond hair and blue eyes and other than that, Camus' physical appearance fits what I'd normally have gone after if I had wanted to."

"Great..." Reiji sighed and looked to the ground as he grumbled, "Now I'm going to have nightmares of you and Myu." Adryn frowned and reached out and pulled Reiji's face to look at hers.

"Listen, my love. You don't need to worry about anything. I don't care about anyone who might be more my type, I only care about you. I only have eyes for you, because I love you and no one else. There are pretty people everywhere but it doesn't mean that I'm going to leave you for any of them. I would and could never have the same type of connection that I have with you with anyone else. It just isn't possible." To Adryn's words, Reiji smiled.

"Thank you for reassuring me. That dream really messed me up."

"No matter what, I'll reassure you, even if I have to 1000 times. As long as you do the same for me."

"Of course." Reiji smiled at Adryn before kissing her. She kissed him back and they got closer together before a voice behind Reiji spoke up.

"Stop making out in the kitchen." It was Camus. He looked quite irritated. Reiji and Adryn instantly moved apart to allow Camus through. Camus walked to the cupboards and got out some tea to make.

"Good morn-" Reiji began but was immediately cut off by Camus.

"Be silent, fool. I don't want to hear anything from you this early."

"Is something wrong? Are you having a bad time or something? You're being more of a dick than usual." Adryn asked, not meaning to sound as mean as she did.

"Nothing is wrong." Camus glared at Adryn.

"Are you missing your dog, Alexander?" Reiji asked simply, but Camus glared at him as well.

"That's right. You're a dog person. Makes sense." Adryn muttered before she looked back at Reiji. "I'm going to go play with Serenity and Precious." Reiji just nodded his head and watched as Adryn left the kitchen.

"You've been being a lot more rude than usual," Reiji tells Camus, who just ignores him. Reiji just sighed to himself before talking again. "We're only going to be here for a little while longer. We should make an effort to get along with everyone, including Adryn. Despite whatever is wrong between you two." With those comments, Reiji leaves the room, not wanting to hear anything from Camus. Reiji made his way to the cubs' room and entered it, only to see Adryn laying on the ground with Serenity and Precious. She was talking to them.

"Why does Camus hate me so much?" Adryn asked the cubs, not that they responded to her to anything.

"Myu doesn't hate you. He's just like that around others." Reiji tells Adryn hoping that helped a little bit. Adryn just sighed though. "I'm really sorry about how he acts toward you." Adryn just shook her head.

"I don't want an apology, I just want to get along with him. I want to get along with Maru and Ai as well. I just... I just want to get along with the important people in your world. So we don't face too many problems with others in the future." Reiji just smiles at Adryn and goes and lays down with her. Adryn rolls over to face Reiji and they smile at each other.

"I'm glad that you want to be friendly with my friends. I really want that to happen, but it's alright. It'll take some time to become friends with them all. Even though you're already friendly enough with Ran-Ran." Reiji finished his sentence with a pout. Adryn just chuckled at him.

"You don't need to worry about anything with me and Maru. We aren't compatible anyway. He's a Libra and they aren't compatible with Capricorns at all."

"I see... How compatible are Cancers and Capricorns." Adryn laughed at Reiji's curiosity, so she sat up. She then pulled out her phone and looked it up on the internet as Reiji sat up and scooted closer to her.

"According to this website, we are 84% compatible overall. Our sexual and intimacy compatibility is 99%." Hearing this from Adryn made Reiji laugh. "Our trust is 99%, communication and intellect is 70%, emotions are 75%, values are 70% and shared activities are 90%." Adryn allowed Reiji to read a bit of what each category said. "It seems like our highest percentages are our trust and sexual and intimacy categories."

"It really shows that our trust is high. Plus, we are definitely compatible with the sexual and intimate side of things, with how close we've gotten so quickly."

"I agree." Adryn and Reiji chuckled together.

"I don't really believe in everything that you showed me, but I do believe in how compatible we are, because of how we feel for each other and how we interact with each other."

"I feel the same way." Adryn and Reiji go to kiss each other, but Serenity leaped onto Reiji, knocking him backward. Adryn and Reiji began to laugh as Serenity pawed at Reiji's face as she licked at him. Adryn instantly pulled Serenity off and spoke to her. "Only I can give Reiji kisses." Reiji just laughed and sat back up. Reiji then went to give Adryn a kiss but she leaned away from him. "No, no. you're covered with cub saliva. No kisses until you wash your face."

"Very well." Reiji then got up to go do just what Adryn said to do. "Come with me?"

"Alright." Adryn got up as well and the two bid farewell to the cubs and headed to Reiji's room.

"I noticed that you took my bed stuff to clean, right?"

"Yup... Wait, fuck! I left the bedding in the washer!" Adryn then hurried out of the room to go to the laundry room. Reiji just laughed and went to was his face. Once he was done, Reiji walked out to see Nova standing there in his room.

"Oh, hey Nova."

"Hey, Reiji," Nova replied simply. "I owe you an apology."

"It's alright. I understand that you were in a bad place. You don't need to apologize to me."

"No, I do because at one point I intended to end your life to get Adryn back into my arms." Hearing this from Nova, Reiji froze. "It was good that I was taken away when I was because I don't think like that anymore."

"How do you feel about me now?"

"Hmm..." Nova thought for a moment before responding. "I think you're perfect for Adryn. You can make her happy in ways that I never could. You can be with her while I can't anymore. My obsession when a little too far, but I'm better now. I don't plan on regressing back into old ways." Nova then looked at Reiji in his eyes. "I apologize for everything. It was never my true intention to hurt you or Adryn. It all just went down as it did."

"It's alright, Nova. Adryn and I are alright now, so it's all okay." Reiji tried to reassure Nova, but before Nova could say anything back, Adryn walked into the room.

"What's going on?" Adryn demanded a little worried about things.

"I just came to apologize for my actions," Nova responded with a smile on her face.

"Thank you for apologizing." Nova just smiled at Adryn, and then left the room. Adryn frowned and looked at Reiji. "Is she telling the truth?"

"Nova just came to apologize," Reiji responded, confirming that Nova wasn't lying.

"I'm glad. I was worried there for a moment." Adryn admitted to her lover.

"I was worried too," Reiji responded before Adryn yawned.

"Wanna take a nap?" Adryn asked Reiji who laughed in return.

"We've only been up for a little while now."

"I just wanna go back to bed and sleep the day away."

"Nope, it's time to keep practicing our song until we have it nearly perfect."

"Dammit... That does sound like a good idea." Adryn grumbled causing Reiji to chuckle at her. The two then headed off to the music room. The rest of their day goes normally with Adryn and Reiji practicing. Everyone else worked on their songs as well, taking turns in the recording room getting their songs done. Everything was going pretty well for the groups, for now.
